John Zorn's Done With His Masada Project. So, What's Next?

In 1993, John Zorn began composing music based on Jewish themes for a new group, Masada Quartet. Now, 25 years and 613 tunes later, Zorn is closing the book - literally and figuratively - on what evolved into a sprawling, genre-defying series of hundreds of compositions written for dozens of different ensembles, all united by Zorn's restless, melodic sensibility while adhering to a few basic rules that place them as solidly in the world of Jewish music as any cantor's melody or rebbe's nigun.
